paint

I need to paint part of my '06 engine once the repairs are complete. I know I can go to colorite and buy a $40 can of spray paint and then another $8 or so to ship it. Not really looking forward to doing that though. I was wondering if anyone has found a readily available paint that would...

Paint work is finally done. Now off to the pinstripper, Flying eyeball will be going on the rear fender, tuning forks inside the eyeball WOW, I thought it was done then he went over the top.

Any opinions on painting my side scoops. I'm going to paint the faux tank, fenders and side panels black with a light diamond dust flake with a lot of clear over it to give it a lot of depth. Had this done before on an old maxim and it looked awesome. I just don't know if i should also paint...

Hi there, Just a small question. I have some small bald spots on the valve covers and cylinders. Can I use just normal shiny paint or should I have to use Heat-resistant paint which always has a matte finish? The cylinders are shiny at the moment.:ummm: Greetzzzz

Anyone know of someone in or near North Carolina that is good at custom paint and air brushing? Thanks Marcus

Heres what I did all weekend first here are the before pictures I used Eastwoods engine paint it was $44 dollars on ebay with shipping. I went with this over Rustoleum of VHT because of the hopes that it lives up the the name of chip resistant I have in the one picture an airbrush I was...

Looking at doing a little detailing on my PCW. Any suggestions for high-temp flat black paint would be appreciated.

Has anyone used any of these engine paints?? If so anyone has any pictures? I don't wanna spray my engine. These come in QT cans and I can brush it on. They both sound pritty good as far as I read.

So I was outside playing with my vmax and ended up taking all of the body off of it lol, the only thing I can't seem to remove is the front finder, unscrewed the 4 bolts but it still seems to be stuck. Anyhow. I figured this is a good time to paint, it's rainy, cold and well something I have...

So I'm in the process of building my vmax and monday we are starting the paint. Planning on doing red race stripes from front to rear render with realistic flames in the middle of the faux tank engulfing this image. Colors will be red , black and Chrome to go along with the 06 vmax. Before I...

Well I very seldom paint any more but a buddy talked me into painting his chopper so I done this job today with Chrystal FX. Its the first time I have used this stuff in about 6 years overall I am pretty happy. Its hard to get the total effect in pics . Its not perfect but nice Now Christine...

Today I masked off areas with blue masking tape and used Rustoleum 500 degree black spray paint to paint my faded out vmax engine. I will post pictures tomorrow but I can tell you this paint is pretty much a perfect match. It has made a world of difference in the look of the vmax engine. I...

I need to paint the plastic trim pieces on my differential and rear wheel. I don't have much experience painting plastic. Saw some Krylon Fusion at the auto parts and see its recommended for plastic. Anyone have experience with this paint? Good/bad?

Can someone tell me the size, etc. of the sparkplug socket for my vmax? I am going to buy one tomorrow. I know it is really narrow cause there is not much room down in the sparkplug hole. Guess I will go to Harbor Freight. Also, does anyone know the factory vmax black paint code, or manu.? I...

Just wondering what you guys use for paint on your engines? As soon as I'm done with my swingarm I'm going to be pulling my engine to swap to solid mounts and I want to detail the engine out nice, what do you guys use on the valve covers and spots where the clear is bubbling and corroding? For...

Hi guys I've been browsing around for a suitable paint for my engine in gold color. Theres lots of spray cans with that brass look but the suppliers won't guarantee its resistance to heat. I want to repaint some parts in brass looks and i was wondering if anyone knows of a particular paint...

Does anyone know what color red came on the vmax in 1995? Where can I get this paint? Thanks

If I want to paint my engine due to engine looking ugly, I obviously have to remove it and while it's out can I adjust valve clearances? Will I need to buy any gaskets? and does anyone reccomend I do anything else while I am going to that trouble (don't need any engine work only 13k miles...

Yes yes the title makes me cringe thinking about how easy and how bad this could turn out. Anyhow part of what I am wanting to do is repaint my engine. Right now it has parts where the paint has flaked off, it almost looks like there is two different coats, ect ect. Bottom line is it needs...
